Did Alran get back to you? How was your experience and can you give me any tips for ordering? -Jeff

I had a friend of my request a holster for her XDS.... It's nice to get a request for something other than black but jeeze I had a heck of a time getting anything close to the right green color!

Lots of sanding and Tandys edge paint made by Fenice. I didn't have any luck with Feibings Edge Kote and tried out the paint. I was concerned about it coming off but I haven't had any problems yet... Knock on wood!

I was using a 1.5 inch oblong from Tandy and it was definitely too tight for a 1.5 inch belt. To fix this I had a custom mallet punch made at Texas Custom Dies. I specified 1.7 x .38 inches for my pancake holster belt loops. They took less than a week and it was only $80... The quality is awesome and works perfectly.

Hello Everyone, I'm writing this post to say a big thank you to everyone on the forum for all your help.... Whether you answered a question or I got help from ceaseless stalking everyone's posts! I have been working with leather for about 10 months now and just started selling some holsters to help pay for my new-found habit. As I was working out in my shop I found a couple of my first attempts and I lined them up with one of my most current holsters that I carry every day.... As you all know, we learn from each project we complete and these were no exception to that rule. One of the first things I learned was not to consume too many adult beverages while working! Forget walking a straight line.... Let's see you saddle stitch straight on a good one. Anyway... I know any progress I have made is thanks in big part to this forum so I thought I would share a picture of the three holsters.

Can I have access as well? Thanks!

Amazing! You just inspired me to start tooling!

Those look great! How do you get that color on the M1911A1?
